Harish Menon
year agoA hidden gem and a cocktail enthusiasts paradise! One look at the not so thin menu of cocktails should tell you that they take mixology seriously. There is one (or a few) that will pander to every taste, mood, feel or sense! And if you feel like something regular or exotic, just ask! While chatting with Alec about the dearth of Yellow Chartreuse and how I was hankering to make a Death Flip at home, he offered to make a slightly altered version of it which blew my mind! Oh yes, have to mention how amazing and knowledgeable Alec was!

4 months agoWhat a great spot! Super creative cocktail list and a cozy space. We tried the pescatarian, red tail, and northern cardinal. Plus kettle corn!

year agoA group of 4 of us visited Bow Market on a Saturday afternoon and wanted some drinks. We first got a round of drinks whilst at the patio seating in the middle of the market. You order through a link provided by a QR code and they will deliver the drinks to your table. Afterwards, we wanted a second round of drinks and visited the actual bar. It's a huge space with both indoor and outdoor seating. I do not recall now which of the drinks we got but we got a variety of cocktails with different flavor profiles and all of them were super great. I would definitely go back!

2 years agoNook at Bow Market is a great spot for cocktails. It's in Somerville and has a cool, cozy vibe. The bartenders make amazing drinks with new and classic flavors. The place feels friendly and is perfect for hanging out with friends or a casual date. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and want to try some cocktails.

6 months agoGreat cocktails, great hosts, great vibes! One of the best places to get a drink around Boston!! I held a birthday party event in the Nook space for a pretty large group that filled the entire space. The decor/furniture and layout made the experience uniquely homey and fun, and special love for the fireplace! Malene and the entire team took such good care of us and went above and beyond (provided extra services like plates for cake, tongs for snacks that I brought, took group photos for us). Even for such a large group, the service was super speedy and attentive. I had 2 rum-based cocktails which were both really creative and delicious -- the one with yam in particular was super good. Overall would definitely come back, with or without a group!

3 years agoAbsolute perfection. Drinks are reasonable, unique, and delicious. The vibes are immaculate and pulls off the 70s mid-century kitchen aura perfectly. The bartenders are so friendly and knowledgeable. Big bonus: you can take the drinks down to Bow Market open air area. Great addition to the community!

6 months agoLast Saturday I met up an old friend for a few delicious, well made cocktails and a long overdue chat at this lovely spot. I have been meaning to write a well deserved review ever since. Fabulous service every time I've stopped in! Jack, Alec, and Christina definitely know their trade as a mixologists.🍸❤️🍹 Come by during the day for a low-key, comfortable environment with a friend and catch up over finely made cocktails or, enjoy an evening experience with lively vibes at this classy establishment. I highly recommend it!

year agoElevated casual cocktail bar with a creative and seasonal cocktail list. Stopped by around 7PM on a Friday, just before it got super-crowded. There was limited seating indoors (just two tables plus the bar and some couches), but the small terrace seats overlooking the square were a nice touch—especially if you’re visiting on a warmer evening. The bar itself was stylish enough for a proper cocktail night, but also relaxed enough to feel cozy and unpretentious. As for the drinks, they seemed to do frequent rotations to keep things fresh (Some of the hyped-up favorites from the past were no longer available). Of the three we tried, the Fairmount Flip was our favorite. As described, it was a full-bodied, creamily cocktail reminiscent of the classic Montreal egg & cheese bagel sandwich. An impeccable mix of sweet, salty, and creamy that somehow just worked. The other two cocktails we tried leaned more generic. Overall, it was the kind of place that elevated our casual night out without ever trying too hard. Definitely a place I’d return to after dinner for a nightcap or even just to grab a seat on the terrace and unwind.

2 months agoSuch a cozy spot! The drinks are perfectly crafted. Sitting next to the fire place on a couch makes it far more inviting. With the shops and food right next door it makes it the perfect spot to hang with a friend or two (not the best for a large group) or a date !
Wandering Bon vivant
6 months agoWent here on a snowy evening and it was the perfect atmosphere. The bar is an ideal setting whether you want to enjoy expertly crafted libations on your own or gather with a group of friends. Located inside Bow Market, it is surrounded by plenty of dining options, making it a great stop for pre dinner drinks before heading out to eat. The staff are both creative and genuinely kind, which elevates the entire experience. Highly recommended.
